Installing/removing an interface card (only for the
5120 EI switches)
This section applies to all 5120 EI switches but the 5120-24G EI and 5120-48G EI. For the interface cards
available for the switches, see “Interface cards (only for the 5120 EI switches).”
This section uses the LSPM2SP2P interface card as an example to describe the procedures of installing
and removing an interface card.
IMPORTANT:
To set up a 5120 EI IRF fabric, you must install interface cards. To choose a correct slot for an interface
card, see “Planning the cabling scheme for a 5120 EI IRF fabric.”
Installing an interface card
To install an interface card in an interface card slot at the rear of the chassis:
1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well
grounded.
2. Loosen the mounting screws on the filler panel over the interface card slot with a Phillips
screwdriver and remove the filler panel.

3. Hold the captive screws on the front panel of the interface card, and gently push the interface card
in along the slot guide rail until the interface card is in close contact with the switch chassis (see
callout 1 in Figure 68).
4. Tighten the captive screws with a Phillips screwdriver to fix the interface card in the slot (see callout
2 in Figure 68).
